For this year's social media contest, we're celebrating our 100 year anniversary with #100Years100Postcards! Currently enrolled graduate and undergraduate students are invited to enter for a chance to win a free trip to Germany.
In celebration of DAAD's 100th anniversary, we're highlighting the stories of just a few of the tens of thousands of DAAD alumni who have participated in DAAD-funded exchanges between the United States and Germany since 1925. This week, Almut Spalding tells us the story of her grandfather, Werner Könnecke.
German universities, as is the case all over the world, have broad networks of international partners. Through cooperation programs among higher education institutions, DAAD supports German universities in expanding these networks.
For DAAD, the end of the funding period is the beginning of a long-standing relationship with its alumni. Our goal is to strengthen the DAAD alumni network by supporting the formation of alumni clubs, e.g. through various programs and activities.
The aim of the DAAD USA Advisory Service is to support German students, researchers, and universities by providing reliable information and individual advice on questions relating to study and research stays in the USA and to inform them about current developments in higher education policy. It now also offers information for US students, prospective students, researchers, and third-country students who wish to study in Germany.

Meet Kenisha, a senior at Arizona State University’s Barrett, The Honors College, studying Computer Science (Software Engineering) with a minor in Dance.
This summer, she joined the DAAD-RISE program as a research intern at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences (h_da) in Darmstadt, Germany. As part of the FARMWISE project, she worked on semantic search and ranking systems using NLP and transformer-based models to support natural-language-driven visual analytics.
Beyond the technical experience, her time in Germany gave her the opportunity to work in an international research environment, immerse herself in a new culture, and rethink her future goals, with a newfound interest in pursuing a PhD and continuing in research.
Outside of the lab, she enjoyed trying new foods, going to concerts, shopping, and exploring Germany and the rest of Europe.
Stay tuned to our stories, where Kenisha will be sharing more about her DAAD-RISE experience and life in Germany! 🇩🇪

Meet Prakriti! She’s a rising senior, Physics and Math major @unioncollege .
She has been focusing her undergrad research on particle physics and this summer, her research was on “Energy Calibration of a Phoswich detector”.
She used simulations alongside with experimental data from ion beam therapy center to study the out-of-field dosage from ion beam treatment of cancer.
The ultimate goal? Finding the optimal way of detecting such energies in order to prevent secondary cancers!
If you to hear more about her experiences with this incredible opportunity, stay tuned to our stories!!
